Hey guys. I have a '97 2 door DX coupe and these stock seats aren't worth crap. I love racing seats but this is my daily driver and I need to get into the back seat, so I'd like something reclinable. But I'd like something with more side bolstering than these stockers for the corners. I found some 99-00 Si seats for $110 that I'm really interested in getting, but is there much of a difference between the Si's and my Dx's other than color? And the Si seats will bolt right into my Ek right? Seems like the Del Sol seats are the best but pretty rare to find...

Thanks for any advice and oppinions!

 

del sols

 

dont' waste ur time with Si seats. they are the EXACT same thing as ur dx seats except for a fancy headrest.

Get del sol's if you can find em, or get some integra seats. None of these seats will bolt right into your car. But a simple swap of the rails will allow it to bolt right in.

 

Del sol seats or teg seats

I installed them in my EJ8, and I absolutely LOVE them! Swap the rails/slider assembly from your Civic seats on the del Sol seats, and you're all set. Everything bolts together like stock, so there's no modding necessary. The only "modding" you'll need to do is rebend the slider wire, but if you have some pliers and arm muscle, it's easy. Check out my webpage for pics.

 

get the new ep3 si seats they rock . i got em. a little cutting and welding though

 

i have integra in my and they are far better than the si's.

 

I have Tan Leather GSR's 2 of them, one good, other has a few rips for 150 OBO Pickup in Bay ARea

 

i LOVE del sol seats...go with those

 

JDM ITR's

 

crx or del sole seats...teg's too

 

I have 94 teg seats in mine, they fit great. I even have the back seats with a few mods. I got the back seats to match perfectly(the flip down parts) by switchin out the metal frames in the seats. But if you put the seat cushion on you will have a gap between the the back rest and the cushion.

 

Thanks for the reply's guys. Looks like I'll pass on the Si seats and look for some Sol or Teg seats. Thanks again guys!

 

great move lewis .. i have teg seat and love them so much

 

s2k, i saw a write up the other day on how to make the install correctly

 

del sol seats are awesome


here is my how to on the install

I sat in prelude seats....they grabbed my body alot better than the del sol seats. I'm not a big guy though, so if you are... del sols might be better.... I'm only 5'7 and 135 lbs

 

SI seats equal DX seats except for the headrest

 

crx si seats if you can find some in excellent shape or if you can get em recovered for cheap. they are the nicest civic seats ive seen in usdm

Yeah, that's a good point. The reason I went with del Sols over GSRs is because GSR seats are too wide for my body (5'5" and 150lbs). I can sit in my brother's GSRs and still move laterally. With the del Sol seats, I'm literally HUGGED by the side bolsters. So check out a few seats before deciding. And I'm really glad I decided not to go with GSRs. I know I wouldn't have been as happy if I did.

 

i liked the GSR seats i had in my coupe.. but prelude seats hug nicely too.

 

Prelude, Del Sols, JDM EG (w/the non-adjustable head restraints)

del sol's or s2k's

 

Actually, difference between your DX seats & Si seats is more than just different colors. You can move your seats forward/back & adjust recline. 99-00 Civics, including Si, had additional adjustment by means of **** on side of seat. I don't remember what it did.

If I were to change my seats, I'd go w/ pair from Integra. Those have adjustable lumbar support.

PS: If you're looking for Del Sol seats, black w/ red stripe is most common, & therefore least expensive.

 

del sols are nicest imo, besides s2k
